7 DraftKings Bargains for Week 9
Jameis Winston, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
DraftKings Price: $5,800
Jameis Winston looked dreadful last week in a loss to the Carolina Panthers, finishing with 3 turnovers as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wilted at home 17-3. On paper, this week doesn't look much better.
The New Orleans Saints are on a five-game winning streak, and they have been doing it with defense.
#Saints pass defense

Not to take anything away from their success, but they have played against Mitchell Trubisky, Jay Cutler, and Brett Hundley. Matthew Stafford also put up a 300-yard, 3-touchdown game during that span, the third such game the Saints have given up this season. If healthy, there is no reason to expect Winston can't be the fourth, and at only $5,800, he is at a price point that offers upside and allows you room for studs at other positions.
We project Winston to finish with 22.8 points, returning nearly four-times value in a game that is expected to be a shootout with an an over/under of 50 points.
